Today, I woke up to find my yard and my driveway blanketed in a thick coating of white snow. Much to my delight, I also found out that I will be having a snow day for the next two days, giving me a four day weekend. These things can only brighten your day and make things better.
I am not a huge fan of snow. In fact, I would like to go to college in a city where it never snows. However, the snow has made it worthwhile when we have a four day weekend. It is supposed to snow more than a foot before midnight tonight, which I can believe. That may not seem like a lot, but where I live, it shuts people up in their houses for days.
We made snow ice cream, which in case you do not know what this is, I will provide the recipe below:
And there you have it. It tastes like some bizarre mixture between a snow cone and ice cream, but it always tastes good. You can also add chocolate syrup or cinamon, but I have never personally tried these two things.
My new dog, Coco, has played in the tall piles of snow throughout the day. It is her first real blizzard, and she is having a blast. I live on a tall hill, and so my brother and sister have enjoyed rolling down the hill together while Coco prances behind them. Coco has lived a short, but hard life, and I am happy to see that she is finally able to thrive in some positive attention and have a good, exciting day.
Periodically, Coco would come into the house, covered in ice and carrying a snow glove or some ski goggles, and she would stay inside for about five minutes until she warmed up, and then off she would go once again, searching frantically for my brother and sister.
This has been a fun day, and I'm glad to spend a day with my family.

We made snow ice cream, which in case you do not know what this is, I will provide the recipe below:
- 1 cup of snow
- 1 teaspoon full of vanilla
- pour in some milk and stir until the snow looks like a milk shake
- add sugar until sweet
